Some hearty reminders and insight on the qualities that make a relationship meaningful. Essentially it is based on four important character traits: love, integrity, forgiveness, and humility. It is true that these are what make meaningful relationships possible. Lots of Scriptural references and examples to back it up; many anecdotes from personal experiences were nice, but I could hardly relate to them --- seems typical "American" ... or too cliche for me, personally. Nonetheless, some good content and purposeful read.
